Meredith,
Welcome back, we missed you!!
I went to the balloon festival back before some of you were born... (*&$&%#%&* in the late 80s

I remember it was just so breathtaking seeing that many balloons in the sky at one time. But my favorite thing was being there early in the morning while all the balloons were filling up. It was still a bit dark, and the flames lit the balloons from inside! It was SO beautiful!
Thanks for sharing, and thanks for bringing back my memories too!!
Love,
Julie
